The light from the full moon spilled into the barn. With Farmer Ted asleep in his house, the animals were free to gather for their monthly meeting.
“Moooo.” Dirk, the cow, bellowed. “This meeting is called to order.”
“If he jokes one more time about eating more chicken,” whispered Chuck the chicken to Hilda the hen. “I’ll peck him to death.”
Hilda giggled.
“Keep it down, you feathered flock.” Dirk declared.
“We have visitors staying with us for a few days, while Farmer Ted prepares for the holidays.”
One of the animals looked at its’ two friends, “Que dit-il?”
Dirk stared down the three hens in the corner.
The largest hen, unsure of what was happening, ruffled his feathers in frustration, “On ne parle que français.”
“Would someone please tell me what those hens are saying?”
“I speak French,” said Yvon, the Canadian Goose.

Another cute story, that’s three down …oooonly 9 to go. You can do it!
Having to crank the first 6 out so quickly is very challenging for me. (And probably very annoying for anyone subscribed to my blog.) Thanks for the support, Maxi.
Great job! Keep going!
Thanks, Lindsey! I am trying to catch up to the rest of you. Sha’woo! I’m getting winded.
You are on a roll and it’s a good one!
Thank you, thank you, Bella!
Right on. You did it again!
Thanks, Georgette. I’m trying!
Love it! The Canadian goose speaks French – Classic!
Thanks, Amy. (And, thanks to Google Translator. Ha!)
Tres bien! I like the idea that the Canada Goose can translate.
Merci! For the record, only the Quebec Canadian Geese are able to translate properly.
City girl? 🙂
Country at heart.
Love it! C’est magnifique!
Merci!
Ha!
Le cluck.

Thanks, SIG.
